Abstract
Disazo compounds of the formula I ##STR1## in which X and Y are identical or different and denote hydrogen, bromine, chlorine, methyl, methoxy, ethoxy, nitro, trifluoromethyl, carbomethoxy or carboethoxy, A.sup.1 and A.sup.2, independently of each other, represent hydrogen, methyl or ethyl and Z.sup.1 and Z.sup.2 in the 6- or 7-position of the heteroaromatic ring system, independently of each other, represent hydrogen, bromine, chlorine, methyl, methoxy, ethoxy, carbomethoxy, carboethoxy or nitro, are obtained by coupling a monodiazotized p-diaminobenzene substituted by X and Y analogously to the formula I with a 5-acetoacetylaminobenzimidazolone which carries the radicals A.sup.1 and Z.sup.2 analogously to the formula I, and reacting the resulting aminoazo compound after another diazotization with a 5-acetoacetylaminobenzimidazolone which carries the radicals A.sup.2 and Z.sup.2 analogously to the formula I, to give the disazo compound of the formula I. The crude product is subsequently thermally aftertreated at 80.degree. to 200.degree. C. In the case where X, Y or Z.sup.1 does not denote a nitro group, it is possible to use as an alternative to the p-diaminobenzene derivative a corresponding p-aminonitrobenzene derivative. In this case, analogous diazotization and coupling is followed by reduction of the resulting nitroazo compound to the aminoazo compound, which is converted into the compound of the formula I as described above. The symmetrical or asymmetrical disazo compounds of the formula (I) are obtained in a particle size of .ltoreq.0.25 .mu.m and are suitable for use as pigments in printing inks, lakes and emulsion paints, for coloring plastics, rubber, natural and synthetic resins or spinning compositions and for pigment printing on, for example, textile fiber materials and paper. The pigments are tinctorially very strong and have very high solvent, migration, light and weathering fastness properties and a high thermostability.
